Not to ruffle any feathers around here, but the college football preseason didn't officially start until SEC Media Days.
Sure, the conference was not involved in the national title game earlier this year, but how can you not say the SEC isn't the biggest needle mover in the sport?

One of the biggest names in the conference is Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin and the Rebels are coming off their second straight season with ten or more wins, and the Ole Miss head coach is expecting another strong season in Oxford.

Kiffin did mention that at least his team was following the rules, so we should probably take him at his word, right?
